Police Regional Commander for the Oshana Region, Commissioner Naftal Sakaria, launched a new operation, dubbed Omushangwena, at Oshakati.
The joint crime prevention operation will be conducted across the Oshana, Omusati, and Ohangwena regions over a six-day period on a rotational basis.
Commissioner Ottilie Kashuupulwa is the new Police Regional Commander for the Ohangwena Region.
The 54-year-old Kashuupulwa replaces Commissioner Elizabeth Sibulile, who went into retirement.
The crime prevention operation launched recently at Katima Mulilo has registered success in combating crime.
The operation, which included a community policing forum, was designed to improve crime-fighting strategies in response to reports of high rates of housebreaking in Choto and other compounds.
